Why have we brought the largest telescope
in Wales to Knighton?

The aim of Project DRAX is to install and operate a 24 inch (61 cm) Schmidt Camera (it is the largest telescope in Wales) at the Spaceguard Centre to conduct a wide field sky survey to detect Near Earth Objects and other transient phenomena.
